Product Description
Subaru Forester 2009-2013 Pillar Post Trim, Six Stainless Covers (PP29441)
What is PP29441? The middle of three linked pillar sets for the 2009-2013 Subaru Forester: six polished stainless covers, tagged 4-door, Crossover SUV, for $84.49. The steel is 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA.
What are the other two? PP29440 with four covers and PP29442 with eight. All three share the same years and tags, and none carries a note, names its pillars or gives widths.
So how do I choose? By eye. Open the three galleries, follow each outline, and think about where it would sit on your Forester. Order the page whose pieces match the posts you want in polished steel. If that's these six, you're on it.
Is any other trim linked? No. The only listings tied to this one are the two other Forester pillar sets, so there are no packages or sill sets to weigh up.
How do I confirm the fit? your records should read 2009-2013 and describe the four-door crossover. If you're unsure, phone Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 and quote PP29441.
What do the covers do? They brighten the posts between the side windows. Doors, glass and seals on the Subaru keep doing their jobs, and the 304 grade resists corrosion without a plated coat.
How are they held? The Forester's six covers are taped on with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. There's no drilling and no trim to remove. Temperature range and cure time are on the Installation tab.
What prep matters? That existing finish, on every post. Feel and look for a chalky haze, crazing, a corner coming away or a layer of wax, and fix each before you begin. Wash, rinse and dry the posts, then rub each with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths until a fresh one shows nothing. Keep a step stool handy for the upper ends.
What should I have ready? Car soap and a bucket, alcohol, a stack of lint-free cloths, painter's tape, a pencil, a clean towel and a helper to sight the lines from beside the Subaru.
How does fitting work? Wait for a dry, still day and park in shade. Check all six covers against the gallery and call about any that are bent or missing. Arrange the six on the towel as the photos show. With backings on, offer each cover to its post, shift it until the margins agree, and box it in with painter's tape; box all six before peeling. Then take two at a time: peel, drop the cover into its box, and press hard along its length and both edges. Check from a distance after each couple of covers.
What if one won't sit flat? Keep its backing on, set it aside, and ring 877-752-3811 before pressing it.
And afterwards? Keep the crossover dry until the cure time on the Installation tab is up. After that, wash the covers with car soap as part of the normal wash and dry them with a soft towel.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 6 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
